Re: Reason why the car drives better
I've heard ripping out the pressure sensors and other systems makes the car faster too.
All that extra weight loss and so very complicated to keep running and all. Things that can fail should always be ripped out, not fixed. That way there are fewer designed in systems that can fail (not). Bwahahahaha

Re: Reason why the car drives better
LOL, Paul! And now you know how to use frame straightening tools! A learning experience.
By the way, "...breaks are for sissies" is when you break your leg. "..Brakes are for sissies" is when you don't get around to it and let your car run off the end of the runway and try and be a tractor plowing up farmland and ponds! LOL>....

Re: Reason why the car drives better
When you get the tune the way you want it. The motor is quiet and the exhaust purrs. The car responds to even the slightest change of the pedal.

 Good one Paul.....you have a great sense of humor for sure and that is the way it should be I am very happy you did not hurt yourself experimenting with braking. I have Wilwood Rotors and C5 Z06 Calipers on both Zs.....I am a SISSY You were just hypnotized by all that eliminated secondary power and forgot to apply the brakes you had  ZR-1s always drive better because of the hypnotized state of the drivers
